> Apple technology is "great" as long as you you're rich enough to afford it

I don’t know what point you’re trying to make with this sentence. It comes across as missing the fact that high quality goods… cost more than low quality ones?

Not to mention they have plenty of affordable tech. Their phones have always been roughly the same cost when adjusted for inflation - something pretty commendable. The iPods back in the day came in a huge range of affordable shapes and sizes for the quality.



I qualified the air-quoted "great" in the subsequent text, which was really intended to be the main point.

(And high price and high quality may sometimes correlate, but high quality is obviously not definitionally high cost (nor vice-versa).)
